I forgot Diggity is so young and the bag of chews you linked to looked like skinny little things about the size of pupperonis. Glad to know Diggity liked his chew treat!

I was going to suggest Beef Trachea for chewing, my gurls get one after they have their weekly grooming and toenail dremeling session. I buy American sourced and processed beef tracheas off of Amazon. I do not give them to young puppies though, because they are fatty and pretty rich. I also do raw turkey necks for dental health, both the tracheas and turkey necks are all cartilage but require a fair amount of chewing/grinding, so they clean teeth well. I wait until around 6 months old to offer one to a young dog.
I would not use knuckle bones or any heavy weight bearing bones for any age dog or puppy, I have seen too many broken teeth, and UC Davis does not recommend them because of that. The dogs chew heavily with their molars and get slab fractures, so I don't do any bones at all.
I do use rawhide "flip chips" for teething puppies, closely supervised, my adults do not get any rawhide at all. I make sure my Flip chips are American sourced and processed as well.
Your puppy is adorable, I saw the other thread, yellow Labrador puppies are SO cute!

I know Debby! We aren't allowed to mention breeders here, good or bad, you may want to edit your post. :-)

Lamb ears, oh gosh, I don't know if I could get those. I like my dog treats the same as I like the meat I consume- packaged so you can't really identify the animal it came from.
